The Lord’s Leader for Israel

You, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
    are too small to be included among Judah’s cities.
        Yet, from you Israel’s future ruler will come for me.
            His origins go back to the distant past, to days long ago.
That is why Yahweh will abandon Israel
    until the time a mother has a child.
    Then the rest of Yahweh’s people will return to the people of Israel.
The child will become the shepherd of his flock.
    He will lead them with the strength of Yahweh,
        with the majestic name of Yahweh his Elohim.
    They will live in safety
        because his greatness will reach the ends of the earth.
